Henrique da Veiga de Nápoles

Henrique da Veiga de Nápoles, 2nd Lord of the Honour of Molelos (1449-1520) was a Portuguese nobleman and wealthy land owner, the eldest son of Henrique Esteves da Veiga de Nápoles, and therefore scion of the main branch of the Nápoles family. He attended the courts of kings John II and Manuel I of Portugal, having been appointed Privy Counsellor by the latter. He is likely to have finished the construction of the Palace ("Paço") of Molelos, started by his father, and he is known to have died there in 1520, upon his return from the court at Lisbon.

Henrique da Veiga de Nápoles married Beatriz Henriques, a noblewoman from Aveiro. They had eight children, their heir being Henrique Esteves da Veiga de Nápoles, the Young.
